Mizzou basketball falls 10 spots to No. 20 in AP poll after losses to Mississippi and Arkansas

Missouri men's basketball dropped 10 spots to No. 20 in The Associated Press poll Monday — its lowest ranking since entering the Top 25 nine weeks ago.

The Tigers experienced the largest drop of any ranked team in the country after losses last week to Mississippi and Arkansas. Texas Tech fell eight spots from No. 7 to No. 15, and Villanova slipped from No. 5 to No. 10.

Missouri is the third-highest ranked Southeastern Conference team behind Alabama, which moved up three spots to No. 8, and No. 19 Tennessee. The Volunteers dropped three spots from last week's rankings.
